When Yan Yidong called, he never thought that Yan Xi would agree to a blind date, and he indulged his sister, who was a teenage year younger than him, as he did to a daughter he didn't have: "It's not a blind date, just meet him. , Big Brother is not forcing you, or... you've been single for too long..."

If she did not agree, Yan Yidong was going to move out Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, but to his surprise, Yan Xi was silent on the phone for a while, then agreed.

Dining room. Yan Xi was having dinner with a man across from him.

Opposite is the person introduced by Yan Yidong, an associate professor of the University's Department of Mathematics, Ph.D., in his early thirties. Polite and well-spoken. But Yan Xi began to lose her mind, and a dull feeling came quietly to her heart.

The restaurant is a good restaurant. It is located on the riverside and is condescending. You can see the boundless river view clearly. If it snows, snowflakes will fall on the gurgling river surface, reflecting the star-like lights on the riverside. The picture is unimaginable. Spectacular and beautiful.

Yan Xi remembered that on such a snowy night, An Zhi and her got out of the car to watch the snow scene on the river, and when they got home, An Zhi told her that she liked girls.

The math professor on the opposite side is still talking about: "Operations research is actually an important branch of applied mathematics, but most colleges and universities currently have many problems in cultivating students of this major. I wrote a paper last month. , focused on analyzing the topic, such as…”

Yan Xi took a sip of red wine, with a standard host smile on his face, eight teeth, no more or no less, amiable and gentle, and he didn't know where his mind went. She flipped her ear hair and touched her Tiffany pearl earrings, cool to the touch.

That dream had a great impact on Yan Xi.

For several days, she couldn't forgive herself, and she couldn't face An Zhi properly. Fortunately, An Zhi was busy with preparations and homework, so she should not have noticed anything unusual about her.

She blamed herself and Liu Yiyi. It must have been because she talked too much about same-sex topics that day that she dreamed of Sun Yawei and her girlfriend. Fortunately, she didn't go too far in her dream. Yan Xi made up her mind, she helped An Zhi take a bath, so she dreamed that she was not wearing clothes. And a few days ago, Tian Anzhi acted like a spoiled child and asked her to kiss.

Well, that's why I dreamed. It must be so.

It's a lot better to think about that.

But isn't this kind of dream usually forgotten the next day? But Yan Xi didn't, especially the later ones remember very clearly, the touch, the sound, the appearance...

Yan Qi suddenly shook off the image in his mind and went to get the red wine glass. After a second thought, he picked up the water glass and took a sip, trying to concentrate himself as much as possible.

The house was quiet. An Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and put down his pen. He couldn't write for too long, and his hands would still hurt.

There are lights in the living room, as well as lights in the entrance hall on the first floor.

"Are you going out?" An Zhi asked her. Yan Xi finished blowing his hair, shirt and trousers, jacket. It was very simple to wear, and the makeup was very light. It was no different from usual, except that the color of the lipstick was changed.

"Well..." Yan Xi glanced at her in the mirror, paused, and then said, "Blind date."

An Zhi stood silently, fingers pinching the palm of his hand.

"Can I be at home by myself? I shouldn't be back too late."

"...Yes." An Zhi raised her eyes to look at Yanxi, even though she was dressed simply, her curly hair was draped, and her eyes were moving, touching her heart.

She had no position to say anything. The wayward act of coquettishness a few days ago had made Yan Xi uncomfortable, and she could feel her embarrassment.

"Wear that earring." An Zhi said suddenly.

"Which one?"

"The Tiffany pearl, the gold thread, it's beautiful."

Yan Xi took out the pair, twisted them up, pulled back his hair, and put his head on the side of the mirror. She turned her face slightly to the side, looked at it, felt it was good, and put it on the other side.

The earrings are gold chains with a pearl, retro and elegant, with a soft glow under the light.

An Zhi's eyes swept across her snow-white earlobes and the corners of her smiling mouth. Slowly lowered his eyelashes, his heart was bitter, unable to speak.

"Then I'll go back and read." An Zhi turned around and took a few steps.

Yan Xi stopped her from behind: "Tao Tao?"

An Zhi turned back and saw a flash of light in her eyes, "Can you... be at home alone?" It seemed that he didn't want to say that at first, but replaced it temporarily.

An Zhi smiled lightly: "...I didn't say it just now, I can do it."

"Yes," Yan Xi paused. She seemed to be hesitating about something. She didn't keep her eyes in contact with her for a long time.

An Zhi was stunned, why did he suddenly talk about this topic?

"Oh, if it's not suitable, I'll buy it for you when I come back." Yan Xi still didn't look at her.

An Zhi bowed his head slightly and shyly said "um".

Suddenly it was quiet, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere in the room.

"Then... I'm out." Yan Xi brushed his hair and went downstairs. An Zhi followed her footsteps to the stairs. Watching her go down, listening to her gently closing the door of the porch on the first floor, after a while, I heard the sound of a car.

At this time, An Zhi was standing at the top of the stairs again. The first floor was quiet and she hadn't come back. An Zhi sat down at the entrance of the stairs, the light was still on, and the sky outside was dark.

Maybe there is a moon outside, maybe not.

On many nights when he was a child, An Zhi also wrote his homework while waiting for Yan Xi to come home from get off work, which seemed to have become a habit.

An Zhi hugged his knees and rested his head on the knees. His black hair was like a waterfall, and the long hair just covered the slender shoulder line.

She can only watch her go out and wait for her to come back, maybe one day she will be able to see her, maybe not.

Finally, Yan Xi couldn't stand the long speech of the professor on the other side, so she made an excuse to leave the table.

As soon as she got out of the restaurant and entered the car, she didn't even remember what the professor looked like. She only remembered that the salmon just now tasted okay.

Yan Xi laughed mockingly at herself, and when it's over, she'll probably die alone.

She sat in the car for a while, overturned the grid of the car, there was a can of candy that had been left in the car, it was tightly sealed, she peeled one open and put it in her mouth.

Fruit candy. Orange petal shape.

Yan Xi then drove home. Winter nights are always very cold, and the street lamps emit a languid orange light. Looking out, there are signs with advertisements, and there are advertisements for a certain brand of lotion on the high screen.

Yan Xi's thoughts moved, and he drove into the parking lot of the shopping mall. She wore a long army green coat, long legs and high heels, entered the mall, and came to the underwear store.

When An Zhi was at the age of wearing underwear, he chose pure cotton, plain white, and shapely, which could be slightly larger.

She also got herself a set of clothes that she usually wears.

When she was about to check out, she was caught by another set of eyes. White tone, the chest is just a looming lace close to the chest shape, no buckles, no shoulder straps, just two thin straps tied on the back of the neck and back.

Very girly, very pure and sexy, and very attractive.

Yan Xi bit her lip and stared at it for a long time.

Even the sales lady came over and asked with a smile: "This one may be too small for you, and it is relatively immature. There are other ones from the same brand that are more suitable for you..."

"No, no, I'm just... take a look." Yan Xi's cheeks quickly rose to a suspicious blush, she let go of the underwear as if her hands were hot, and went out of the mall after paying the order.

After getting in the car, simply roll down the window and blow in the cold air.

The sequelae were definitely the sequelae of the dream that day. She let out a breath. What's happened to her lately? She almost groaned.

"Psychological emptiness." Liu Yiyi would definitely say that.

"Physical and psychological emptiness." Yan Yinan should say so.

"The age of 30 is a milestone for every woman, and the pressure brought by the social environment and physiology is normal." My sister-in-law told her this.

"Will it be better after thirty?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

Yan Xi rubbed his forehead, maybe it will be better in a few days. She finally drove home.

A room warm.

She took the bag and walked up the stairs. There was a familiar figure sitting at the entrance of the stairs, her head buried in her knees, her silky hair loose.

"Tao Tao, why are you here?"

An Zhi raised his head, his cheeks flushed slightly. She rubbed her eyes, "Are you back?"

"I'm back, are you waiting for me here?"

An Zhi lowered his head to hide his desire to stand up: "No, I just got bored..." As soon as he moved, his legs became numb, and he almost lost his footing.

Yan Xi freed up a hand to grab her in time, and An Zhi leaned into her arms.

She had the coolness of the cold night outside and the scent of a touch of perfume in her arms. She was wearing high heels, and An Zhicai reached her shoulders and hugged her tightly.

An Zhixin suddenly missed several shots, and did not dare to move. I don't know if it was her illusion, but Yan Xi seemed to freeze.

The hands of time seemed to stand still for several seconds.

Then turn slowly.

Yan Xi patted her shoulder casually and released her, "I have something for you." She handed her the packing bag.

An Zhi calmed down and took a look at the bag, "Thank you, thank you." She swallowed and followed her into the living room, "How about a blind date...?"

"Boring." Yan Xi spread his hands.

An Zhi secretly let out a breath, "Will you meet him again?"

"No." Yan Xi was very sure.

An Zhi pursed her lips, feeling that her joy was also a little sad, at least this one doesn't have to worry... But there will be another person.

"Exam tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow, and then it will end soon."

Time is very tight. If you get a good ranking in this final, you will be able to enter the national training team, and then you can participate in the international ICHO competition.

An Zhi is determined to enter the training team. However, her hand has not fully recovered, and she is afraid that it will affect the state of the exam.

She was a little nervous about the exam for the first time. The girl's fair neck was slender, and the arc of her chin was delicate and soft. Because of her anxiety, she bit her lips lightly.

Pink toot, full petal-like lips.

Yan Xi looked away and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it's definitely possible... You have to have confidence in yourself..."

These words of encouragement are as bland as boiled water, Yan Xi complained about himself, are you still a liberal arts student? Are you a host? Your vocabulary...

But An Zhi narrowed his eyes and smiled as if encouraged, and nodded his head, "Yeah."

Yan Xi stared at her dimples and sighed.

The night was blurred, and Yan Xi was unable to sleep.

Just get up, there is something Liu Yiyi gave her on the bedside table.

She slackened her steps and did not open the cabinet.

Clothes, to the third floor, her photography hobby room. Magazines, cameras, and developed works are all there.

She stayed there all night.
